I tried to test the patch this weekend. I first started with an
unpatched kernel. Unfortunately, there are hardware issues:

1. The battery of the RTC is dead.
2. There seems to be a problem which causes autovector interrupt 1 to
fire spuriously, which is the keyboard and DMA interrupt. At least,
that's what the OpenBSD kernel reports. It seems to cause the Linux
kernel to freeze.
3. The harddisk (original 200 MB Rodime RO3000T) is failing, so I
can't fully boot OpenBSD to further verify this problem.

Anyway, I don't think your patch it will work.

When running on m68k, you're passing a NULL device pointer to
devm_rtc_device_register(), which eventually gets passed to
devres.c:add_dr() and that is definitely not OK.

I think this calls for a proper platform device on the m68k side.

Kind regards,

Kars.
